Change them to the size of the copied data. Furthermore, iveiv_entry is a local structure that has just been initialized and is not visible outside this function. Thus, there would seem to be no point to copy data into it. The order of the arguments is thus changed to copy the data into the parameters, which are provided as pointers, suggesting in this case that they should be used to return values. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds the first problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ expression *x; expression f; type T; @@ *f(...,(T)x,...) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Acked-by: Gertjan van Wingerde Acked-by: Ivo van Doorn Signed-off-by: John W.
